Did a search and there wasnt a thread on it yet.

Anyone get a beta key? Hows the game. Still waiting for mines

[Energy]

I'm waiting for a beta key too. The game seems interesting.

[kchan]

watched this game via streams, it looks so fun

waiting on beta key...

I was anticipating someone asking about hearthstones from WOW.

Posted via RS Mobile

Been in the beta for a month or so now.

Regarding fast pace. If you play with players that doesn't take up the whole turn to decide which card to play, then yeah.

Leveling up and obtaining cards, super slow. One pack cost 100 gold or buy 2 at $2.99. You get one daily quest a day, which grants 40 - 60 gold. Then you have to win 3 games in casual or ranked to get 10 gold. You will have to do one daily and win like 15 - 20 times for a pack.

In the beginning it's pretty fast, you start completing achievements and they give you 100 gold or so. Win 100 games achievement gives you 300 gold, etc.

But people opt for arena because it's more rewarding and you get the opportunity to get more than you pay to get in. It costs 150 gold or $1.99 for one entry. You get 3 random class to choose from, and then you get 30 round to select a card from 3 random cards. Occasionally you get rounds of rare cards, rounds of epic, and if lucky rounds of legendary. Keep in mind, it's random. So you can face opponents who have 2 legendary cards and you have none.

The more you win, the better the reward. Lose 3 times and you're out. Win 12 times and the arena is over. I find that 0 - 2 wins give almost the same rewards, which is 2 box that contains 1 expert pack and the other will be 30 - 50 dust or gold. If you win 12 times you get 5 boxes. Boxes can include packs, gold of up to 200ish, dust, and cards.

Leveling up your hero gives you golden cards. Pre-level 25 or so, the cards are useless because they can't be disenchanted into dust, and most likely, you already have 2 of the same regular ones. After level 30 though, the cards can be disenchanted.

I had $18.xx leftover in my wallet, and I spent it all on arena. Arena is pretty addicting. I can't see this game going very far because of the limited game play. If they implement arena for casual plays with no rewards and no entry cost, it could be fun. It's the random cards that makes it fun.

Will I buy it when it is released? Of course, it's a game that you play to pass little time. Each match takes about 15 minutes to finish, and you can concede whenever you want.

[Coren]

I believe its going to be a freemium game, meaning its a free game and you pay for extras such as card decks and arena entry.

I've been playing for about a month now and I enjoy it a lot.

I feel it's more worth it to use the gold you gain to enter arena than to purchase decks. Just seems more cost effective since you will gain back a pack of cards and gold/dust even if you lose all the games. But there is also the potential to gain a lot more just by winning a lot of games.

[Neva]

q up-->take piss-->hearthstone-->LoL-->repeat.

serves its' purpose.

[quasi]

I don't like it much, one of my friends has already spent stupid amounts of money on this game more then he's spent on any other game except maybe League of Legends. If this game was for sale for a standard game price he would have already bought it 6+ time over.

As we're seeing more and more free game with pay for content seems to be the way of the future until something better comes along. If you have more money then free time it's a good option I suppose and if you want to put in the time you can still achieve goals.

[Alby]

been playing it for a while now and it has lost its appeal to me.

[Preemo]

Played the game for 2 weeks and the game has also lost its appeal to me. Spent about $50 bones on it to get the packs too.

[mr sinister]

Ya, I've spent a little more than 100 bucks on the game, this game is ridiculous.. blizzard has done it again, they've created another game that is just as addictive as crack.

[knight604]

Never really been into card games, but this one sounds a bit interesting.

This game is meh. I feel like there is a lot more balancing that needs to be done and the leveling process + earning gold to get more cards is extremely slow.....

almost like they want you to pay money to get some........ :suspicious:

[Mr.HappySilp]

It is pretty fun! Spend $10 to get some cards. Seems like Magic but easier to understand.

"Almost like"?

IT IS LIKE. I already spent $30 something dollars to play arena. It's not an expensive online game and it kills time when you have time to kill.

I agree on the balancing part.

[jerche]

Game just got released on the iPad across Canada. Not sure what it is but I am quite hooked!

[Alby]

perfect. time to take longer poops.

[ForbiddenX]

Pretty stoked it got released on the iPad. I think its a lot better to play on it than on a PC
Posted via RS Mobile

[radioman]

This game has always had "play me whilst taking a shit" feel for me.

I've now been playing it every 3 days or so to do the quests but I figure I'd play it daily for sub 1 hour once its released on android tablet!

[VK79]

Tried this game for the free mount and noticed a couple of things..

- The matchmaking is messed up, I got matched with a lvl 10+ opponent as a lvl 1 (found out later cause he used a spell rewarded from dinging lvl 10)
- If you don't do iap you are gonna face a steep uphill battle. Most of the matches I played, ppl were dropping purple/blue cards on me like it was free.
- It drains battery like a mofo (on my mini ret). 1-2 hrs of gaming takes about 30-40% battery, that is worse than 3d intensive games like real racing, infinity blade etc. and high bitrate 1080p dts vids!

Like what others said, it has become a "play as you take a shit" game for me (pve vs. the innkeeper), can't be bothered with iap heros or time wasters (wait till time runs out EVERY turn).

[Ulic Qel-Droma]

i'm addicted to this game. I like how each game is so short (you can log on and play 1-2 games and quit) and you're not really on the edge of your seat trying to click faster than your opponent. there's still a turn based element.

after winning enough packs from arena etc... the game "equalizes" and i find it requires actual skill to be a good player.

i have noticed the stock priest deck is very OP.

the thing i enjoy about this game most is the decision making and when faced against an equal opponent the games come so close. one mistake that costs you a turn can end the game quite quickly. i've had a buncha games where we're both down to sub 5 life. and a handful of games where it was down to 1 life and luck of the draw lol.

the game isn't to do with rares and legendaries. i've faced idiots who bought all their cards and just made decks full of purples and oranges. and i still beat them. it's all about the right card combos and a balanced deck.

[LightKeeper]

It's actually pretty fun game.
Kinda like Magic but with warcraft theme.

It's a nice break from dota for me.

[ForbiddenX]

Opened some packs and got one of each rare in a pack :O

[VK79]

It "worked" on the pad2 since day 1 of the ios launch.

Not sure how anyone can even play it on anything less than a miniret or ipa. Feels like 10fps on a ip3 so did not even bother with the 2.

@Forbidden
Damn that is one lucky roll, all (cept the legend, ironically) useful cards. Best I got was 2 Useful cards in a pack ......

[Ch28]

Need this on Android

[mr_chin]

Need this on Android

coming out later this year due to the many different resolutions they have to cope with.

[SkinnyPupp]

I just had the most epic comeback with my mage against a paladin.. He had me down to 11 while he was at 30. I was just getting shitty draws for the first half of the game. Then I was able to control his mobs little by little, freezing when needed, using my self-cast buffs... Finally I got just the right cards on the table to take him out.

That felt AMAZING but I can't help but feel that a lot of this game depends on what you happen to draw. I have had games where I can't draw shit in the first half, then just get owned.

I really wish they offered quality settings for the ipad version. It really sucks playing on an ipad 2.

[ForbiddenX]

Yea come back wins feel really good especially when you're down to like < 5 HP.

Drawing the right cards is the mechanic of any TCG. At least with Hearthstone it's a little bit easier since we get mana each turn as opposed to having to draw mana cards and then play it.

[bobola]

yes feels goood

http://i.imgur.com/7goEOE0.jpg

[SkinnyPupp]

Warrior had me down to 10 health by the 4th turn... I got him down to 1 but then he pulled a 7 HP epic axe and pwned me

[Ulic Qel-Droma]

older screen shot from last season...

the tides changed pretty fast... i'm the guy about to lose 30 life in one turn LOL... i knew i shoulda killed that troll, got cocky hah.

http://i.imgur.com/Uips9BU.jpg

[SkinnyPupp]

Yeah I made the same mistake against a priest who had one of those "damage equals health" buffs.. he added a bunch of health, doubled it up, and BAM, got hit for 26 damage in 1 hit :fuckthatshit:

I bought 7 packs for $10 and didn't get jack shit. Well I think I got one purple for paladin but I am not interested in paladins.

I go back and forth between mage and warlock. It's weird, I seem to go through streaks where I win 3 then lose 3, I wonder how much of this game is determined by luck of the draw.

[SkinnyPupp]

FUCK ARENA MODE

[G]

LOL Fuck, I suck at arena mode.

I've been doing a couple ranks, currently sitting at lvl 19 trying to get to 18... Funny thing is, I am still using the same deck the game made for me when I first got into beta lolol noideawhatimdoing

[VK79]

As I play more with all classes for dailies (to gather more gold), I am starting to realize this game is a little too luck/rng/draw dependent.

You can be the most skillful player with the most epic deck but if you get the shittiest draws and cannot control/counter while your opponent gets all the best synergy draws = you are screwed.

Personally, I would like to see 2x of everything (2x hp, 2x mana pool/per round, 60 cards, draw 2 per round). That way, luck is still a factor but your skill (planning/managing mana/cards) can overcome a few bad draws/tank a few opponent lucky draws.

Many have requested a "tag team" mode but instead of 2 players, you play 1v1 with 2x of everything.

Due to luck begin a huge factor, some players (like a few post above), feel that Legendary/Epics are not as crucial as they should be. The cards are VERY powerful and it should be that way.

[Ulic Qel-Droma]

luck of the draw is important... but then you get to redraw... so really it's not that unfair.
the chances of you making synergy combos is also up to how you build your deck.

remember, the opponent suffers the same chances as you.

[VK79]

^
Yes, everyone is subjected to the same luck factor. That is not the point I'm trying to make. What I mean is, I would like to see luck play a smaller percentage in determining the outcome of the game. Right now it feels like Luck>Skill>=Deck Build, would like to see Skill=Deck>Luck.

Couple of nights ago I played a mage with Rag/Antonidas, had the worst luck ever drawing cards and he was able to control/clear till turn 8 and I got destroyed. Immediately re-q, and got the same person (first time lol). This time I got all my synergy cards almost in perfect order with each draw/mana and I killed him by turn 9 with almost perfect hp (28). Same players, same deck, only thing that changed was luck of draw.

If, I win this person, it should be because I know of his playstyle and deck (thus I adjust my strat accordingly) and not because I got lucky with draws and totally smashed him up before he even gets a chance to put up a decent fight.

[SkinnyPupp]

"luck of the draw" in normal play doesn't bother me quite as much as building an arena deck.

Arena is only made for faceroll decks. You can't possibly build a more refined deck using it. If you try but don't get the cards you need, you're fucked.

I tried building a mage deck, and wasted so many cards. I had a few minions who get buffs based on "secrets" being played. Problem is, I only had one "secret" to use, so they were all wasted. Also, no flamestrike cards showed up AT ALL. How the hell can you run a control class without the most important control spell. And not enough taunt minions either - I think I got maybe 1. And at the end you get to choose from 3 purples, and they were all completely useless for a mage.

I was so fucking pissed, I didn't want to say more than "FUCK ARENA MODE".

Still it's probably worth it since even if you lose 3, you still end up getting a pack and 30 gold back. So really it's only 20 gold more than buying a deck.

[SkinnyPupp]

You want to talk about deck > talent.. I had this guy down to 7 health (1 more turn and he was done) then he popped 2 purples and an orange

He must have spent hundreds of dollars getting those cards..

[SkinnyPupp]

I would stream my games but I can only connect to HS from my mobile connection for some reason :(

[SkinnyPupp]

Fuck so many oranges and purples in rank 19.. maybe I don't belong here yet :fuckthatshit:

[SkinnyPupp]

Had a nice nuke lined up but I just went through over half my deck and didn't get a single CC card :fuuuuu:

And I have a LOT of them. Out of my remaining 12 cards, any ONE of the 6 or 8 would have won me the game :fuuuuu:

[SkinnyPupp]

For some reason I decided to do arena again... Almost all my cards were 0-3 mana, with the high level ones being +spell damage (I was using warrior)

So I ended up with the shittiest deck you can imagine.. and here I am playing against someone with at least 1 orange and 1 purple

[SkinnyPupp]

So far I have opened about 10-12 packs (bought 7 when I decided I liked the game).

I have gotten 2 purples and some blues.. the rest have been whites

My friend got 2 oranges from the 7 he bought :fuuuuu:

[SkinnyPupp]

Just had an epic comeback from 1 health against a paladin with 23 health of all things :fullofwin:

He wasn't geared up to the gills but he knew what he was doing. Pretty fun :)

Gadgetzan Auctioneer saved me

[SkinnyPupp]

So I guess nobody else is playing anymore?

[SkinnyPupp]

Fucken priests.. as soon as you take out their lightwell and fire elemental, they bail on you :lawl:

Actually since playing my new rogue build, I have had 3 people concede early on me...

On the other hand, I find that I am killing people by turn 7 or so now :awwyeah:

[Vale46Rossi]

I'm still playing, it's the best game on the shitter :D and I tend to overstay my shitting times...

[SkinnyPupp]

OK so with that rogue deck, I worked my way up to rank 16.. I won 12 out of my last 15 games with it.

Then in my next 7 games, I won 1...

I swear this game fucks with your draws in order to make you want to buy cards or something.. because during my losing streak my opening draw has always been my high mana cards and non-minions

[Energy]

I've been playing on and off since December. Its a pretty fun game. I mostly do arena now though.

[VK79]

Just made an idiotic lock deck with 80% 5+ cost for the daily "Summon xxx mobs above 5 cost."

Played 4 games fully prepared to loose and just wanted to get the credit for summoning the 5+ cards and won 5/5 matches.........

Was tempted for a moment to try assemble a deck that has a decent chance for R1/Legend and did some research. Discovered the popular decks take 10-13k dust to build.... ok, I'll stick to doing a few casual matches a day when I am taking a dump lol.

[SkinnyPupp]

Above 5 mana, I guess I won't be playing my rogue very much today :fuckthatshit:

[SkinnyPupp]

Accidentally started a ranked game with a level 11 hunter I was working on.. was about to hit "oops" and give it a shot.. but the guy conceded right away :lawl:

[SkinnyPupp]

TIL there's a +5 spell damage minion with 12 health that is a real fucking cunt when played by a mage

[SkinnyPupp]

Congrats. This is the type of pack I get whenever I open one

http://i.imgur.com/gse0Qwl.jpg

[SkinnyPupp]

I wish I was recording games.. I just had this 'oh shit' moment where the opponent must have been throwing his ipad against a wall.. I think I would have if I were him! :lawl:

Just one of those perfect draws - he had 12 health + 4 armor and I was pretty much down to my last turn, with a leper and ragnoros in play. Had a brawl card and a fiery axe. Attacked him with the leper and fiery and threw down a brawl card...

long story short, brawl killed everyone but the ragnoros, leper death takes off his remaining armor, end of turn, ragnoros hits him for 8 and wins the game... ANY other scenario and I would have been dead. I was having issues keeping his minions at bay

Enjoying warrior so far, but I said the same thing about rogue when I started that deck.. I got to 16 with that deck, then back to 20. Let's hope this one is a bit more consistent. At least it's fun

So I played 10 rounds of Arena yesterday:

http://i.imgur.com/V2Qup2x.jpg

[SkinnyPupp]

Decided to give Druid a try, making use of my Onyxia card.. the deck I have is slow going, I'll have to put some cheaper minions in there. But I had quite a nice run at the end.

Hunter had 28 health and 4 minions up. I was toast on this turn. But I got my draw.

Onyxia + Mark of the Wild + Soul of the Forest + Savage Roar to clear the board. (I didn't take a screenshot before this because I wasn't sure if it was going to work)

http://i.imgur.com/jOZeRvu.jpg

2nd turn: A board full of Treants and Savage Roar again (you can see he tried Hunter's Mark). I only realized now that I didn't need to use it the second time but why not since I drew it :P

http://i.imgur.com/aDyREep.jpg

Edit: Actually I have plenty of cheaper minions in this deck, I just didn't draw a single one all the way up to turn 10.

[Vale46Rossi]

^ Sick combo, I am still looking for ony or rag

[SkinnyPupp]

Just drew a paladin arena deck where I got zero purples, zero oranges, and almost no cards came up worth more than 4 mana. My BEST card is a Gurubashi Berzerker. RNG sure loves me for this game

[SkinnyPupp]

OMG just had the most epic comeback EVER.. guy had me down to 8 health and he was in 20's... I got JUST the right minions up.. my fucking BERSERKER with divine shield saved my ass.

This guy must be SO mad :troll:

[SkinnyPupp]

Fucking shamans get a 3/1 windfury with 1 mana cost? damn

[SkinnyPupp]

Total mana value of the deck I won from that arena: EIGHT! Fuck yeah

[SkinnyPupp]

Druid sucked. Playing a "zoo" Warlock deck now... I find that I either win in 4-6 turns or I have problems getting overrun by minions... I added an AOE to my deck so we'll see if that helps.

i think i easily opened 40+ expert packs to get this card..

[SkinnyPupp]

^^ Grats. I still have the same 2 legends (I DE'd Onyxia though)

Running this deck now, it's going well so far

http://i.imgur.com/cueSnIE.jpg

Played a paladin who was being all cocky with emotes when I coined for Knife Juggler + Apprentice. I did great on the RNG for knife throws, and buffed my taunts with Argus. He must have been so mad, he conceded at turn 6 :lawl:

[SkinnyPupp]

Just played against a similar warrior deck to my old one as this mage. He had the exact same problem I did. He had me down to 7 by turn 7, but once I cleared his board and put down all my minions (with juggler) it was a whole new game. Finished him off (26 health) in 3 turns.

[SkinnyPupp]

Anyone still play this game? Or just don't like talking about it?

[VK79]

Stopped playing for ~2 weeks and decided to pick it up again yesterday. Felt that I got more than enough value/fun from the game and decided to toss the developers some $$ and did my first iap.

First 3 were pretty much garbage or dust, was about to rage then suddenly....

http://i745.photobucket.com/albums/xx98/vk79/Randoms/photo1_zpsafc0c664.jpg

Literally shit my pants....

Now, I am in such a dilemma. I am 390 dust short of crafting my first (crafted) legendary. I really want rag but I have a stinking feeling I might regret it later as it seems Cho is an awesome insurance for Mirror Miracle rogue matches when you do not have a stealth by turn 6/7.

[SkinnyPupp]

390 dust short, just wait man you'll get there fast.

[SkinnyPupp]

Just rolled the shittiest hunter arena you can imagine. All 3 classes were unfamiliar so I thought it might be easy enough to just draw a lot of beasts... Except only 3 beasts came up along with a couple companions and a hound card. Just brutal!

[SkinnyPupp]

Mage isn't so OP in arena when you draw 0 flamestrikes, 2 fireballs, 0 pyroblast, 0 purples, and 0 oranges

Edit: I actually just went 4-2 so far after starting 0-2... so maybe it is? lol

[Ulic Qel-Droma]

been wanting to play this a lot more than i have... im pretty sure i can get to rank 15 with the deck i have... just ... need to log on and playyy.

got like 700 gold now, maybe i should just arena a buncha times.

[SkinnyPupp]

I played arena 3 times yesterday, and did pretty poorly with mage twice. As mentioned, I didn't get my important spells in the first one.. Well in the second, I DID get pyro and 2 fireballs... I even got an epic (Ysera, other choices were Deathwing and Harrison). No flamestrike though, and no arcane intellect. Never drew my pyro or Ysera once (well I did get Ysera on mulligan). So if my opponent had draw cards, I didn't have a chance. Otherwise it was about who could topdeck the best cards by turn 14+. It was pretty lame.

Same story on my druid. I got BOTH Ancients, AND two Wild Growth (even draw them with coin on my mulligan draw). I thought I had a nice deck similar to a constructed ramp druid. But nope, without draw, I had nothing. Well I had draw, but with Druid sometimes you can't use draw.. if you need to wrath for 3, then you don't draw. If you need to heal with your ancient, you lose draw. So it was the same thing, holding my dick while the opponent built up the board with minions and I couldn't do anything about it.

I need to figure out Arena. I thought I had it figured out after I did well with my shammy.

I'm rank 14 on ladder using a combo of my zoo and mage. I still make stupid decisions, either not thinking things through clearly, or taking big gambles that don't pay off. Need to work on that to go higher.

But i refunded Diablo lol

I just had the most epic comeback. Prior to the last turn, I played my Yeti with a Flametongue and a harmless totem. He then played his King Krush and decided to cripple my Shaman down to two health against his hunter. His Hunter has 21 health while I was down to 2! I Rockbiter my Yeti and played my Windspeaker's battlecry to windfury my Yeti and also I had a 2/1 weapon. 22 damage! I wish I screenshot it lol.

For those who don't find it fun to figure out how to beat heroic Maexxna, I wrote this deck on how I beat it with priest: How I Beat Heroic Maexxna with Priest - Hearthstone Decks (http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/76486-how-i-beat-heroic-maexxna-with-priest)

Here's my "before and after" with the enemy board identical, and being able to play Leeroy more than once :D

For those who don't find it fun to figure out how to beat heroic Maexxna, I wrote this deck on how I beat it with priest: How I Beat Heroic Maexxna with Priest - Hearthstone Decks (http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/76486-how-i-beat-heroic-maexxna-with-priest)

Cleared every Hero/Challenge in 1-2 tries and kept failing at Mae Hero, decided to use my Secret/MD Hunter deck and stumbled on the 1/1 spider trick too.

Here's how I killed it:

Basically, try your best to mull for UTH/Explosive Trap and try to load up with cheap stuff like the wisp, 0/4 shield taunt dude.

Once there is 3-4 spiders out (It usually T1 coin spider), load up the explosive and let him flood his side with 1/1 mobs. Use your UTH and GO FOR FACE and trade =<7(when you get a taunt up) for 9 (7 hounds + Hero power). The boss will never trade thus you literally cockblock him from summoning anything and when you flood your side with 7 hounds there is a good chance your cheap tanks will not get returned.

Hopefully you draw 1-2 +1 Wolfs or leroy and can out "Face" him before he out spiders you.

I tried the same deck over 10 battles and when I managed to get UTH/Explosive by T3 I won, usually, by turn 7.

[SkinnyPupp]

BTW if you want to troll zoo players, use a priest with shadowform :troll:

[SkinnyPupp]

Finally built a miracle rogue deck, using Nerubian eggs... It's going really well so far! But that seems to happen a lot when I try a new deck

Edit: Yup. Won 8 in a row, then lost 8 in a row. In my last one, both Preps were the last 2 cards in the deck.

[PuYang]

Just started playing this game last night. Seems pretty fun, relaxing, which is what I find I enjoy nowadays.

Favourites so far are mage and paladin. I'm playing casual against players and winning about 50% of the time only right now. Seems like some games I stomp the opponent because I happen to draw what I need most of the time. And other games, the opponent happens to have counters for everything, or I simply don't draw anything useful at all...

hope this comes out for android, I wouldn't mind playing this on the pooper xD

EDIT:
forgot to ask. What do you guys recommend I do with my gold? I don't plan on spending any real money on this game. I have accumulated ~260 gold ish so far, and wasn't sure if I should save it or just spend it on packs?

[SkinnyPupp]

Use it for arena, and see how you do there. If you win at least 5 games, you will come out ahead. Otherwise you'll come out about even, or slightly below even since you get a pack every time anyway.

For me, I can't stand arena so I just buy packs. I actually got a few legendaries lately, which is amazing considering how many I have opened without getting any. I got a Tinkmaster, Greenskin, and a golden Jaraxxus which I disenchanted to make a Ragnaros.

[Alby]

naxx was a refresher, then it got bored again lol.

[SkinnyPupp]

Nax still has 3 more wings to come, how can it be past tense at all? :fulloffuck:

[SoNaRWaVe]

i'm sure he meant for what is available at the moment.

[SkinnyPupp]

I know but it's still pointless to draw conclusions when only 1/4 of the expansion has been released

[ScizzMoney]

Wait hasn't all the expansion been released? You just have to buy it if you want to play it all. I could be wrong though.

[PuYang]

I thought it was free? you just have to wait a week per section. or pay now if you don't want to wait. (atleast I hope thats how it is).

man, I'm getting stomped like crazy in most of my games. and the ones I win, are generally less stompy.

I keep going back into my deck to check what I can change, but feel like nothings really wrong with it...? of course I'm still newb ;p

the games where I get stomped, its always because I never draw anything that I need. And when I finally have a good combo up and going, the enemy somehow has a bunch of spells that counters everything. quite frustrating~

EDIT: woot, just went to play after posting this, and stomped 3 people xD! 2 of them gave up. All 3 enemies used up their cards so fast and had 0 cards until their turn. Where I had ~3-4 units wailing on them every turn xD

[SkinnyPupp]

They have 3 more coming out that will be released over the next 3 weeks (next one comes out in roughly 24 hours). Each one will come with (I think) 3 neutral minions, 2 class minions, and a legendary. They are $7 each or you can buy the remaining 3 for $20. Or you can buy for 700 gold each.

There are some cards coming that will change things a lot more. The first batch of cards weren't that important... Egg is obviously useful for zoo, and Weblord is good if you play against a lot of zoo. Poison Seeds is useless, and the 4 mana 5/5 for rogue isn't very useful.

The next legendary is a 5 mana 5/5 that increases the enemy's spell cost by 5 mana on that turn. So for instance if you're playing miracle, if they drop a gadget, all you have to do is put him down and you can block their entire gadget turn. It's obviously going to be useful to block soulfires, paladin heals, it will give you another turn to kill a mage, and so on.

Anyway go read the wiki (http://hearthstone.gamepedia.com/Curse_of_Naxxramas), there's a lot to get excited about IMO. We only saw 6 cards of the 30 or whatever that will be released. Not every card is going to be useful, but a lot will.

[Alby]

whats the difference with the other wings that hasn't been released in week 1? gameplay remains the same. albeit, you get different cards as rewards and probably using different strategies to defeat bosses. i find that to be quite boring.

[VK79]

Different bosses that require different playing strats/mechanics and "reward" additional cards.

Basically....

4 More wings at $20 for all 4 or $7 each (First wing is free, which you are playing right now) or 700g per.

Each wing you buy/farm gold for, you WILL get 1 Legendary, 1 Blue and 2-3 Grey cards if you clear it. If I'm not mistaken, when you Kill KT in the last wing you will get an additional Legend (for clearing ALL 5 wings).

In addition, each wing will give you 2 Class challenge where they pre-select a deck for you , if you pass it, you get a Grey card for that class.

In summary, if you unlock the remaining 4 wings AND clear each boss once + clear all the class challenges you WILL get all these cards:

Hearthstone Cards (http://www.hearthpwn.com/cards?filter-token=0&filter-set=100&display=1)

IMO, that is a sick deal. If you spend $20, you get to open 15 packs, and unless you are disgustingly lucky, you will most likely get 0 Legend, 1-2 Epics, ~20 Blues and tons of useless Greys. You will DE most of the useless/crap ones and end up with about 1-2 Epics and 5-10 Blues that are decent. The only catch is you can't DE Naxx cards as they are SB but there are enough decent ones for the gold/$$ + you get more content.

P.S. If you hate how the Arena is so RNG dependent, you should just save your daily quest gold for wings, each wing takes 7 days to open so you can easily gather the 700g (in a week, if not take your time, the game is not going anywhere) for basically a truly F2P game.

This deck crushes zoo:

http://i.imgur.com/x0cOkb3.jpg

Good thing too, because 8 of 10 games have been against zoo

If I had Grom he'd be there instead of Leeroy. Thinking of using something other than a finisher though.. don't get enough value from leeroy usually

[SkinnyPupp]

Queueing into zoo 80% of the time right now. As good as this deck is against them, FUCK zoo. God dammit

[PuYang]

Well, ranked games (atleast rank 25 lol) is MUCH easier than Casual games.

Just played 2 ranked games, and both enemies made really really simple mistakes. (like summoning charge units and ending their turn without even attacking. Or wasting spells and attacks on my unit that they weren't even focusing down that turn).

Casual games on the other hand, I only win like 3-4 out of 10. Most of the opponents have really nice cards and I've seen my fair share of "OP" legendaries...

I'm saving to open more Naxx, so I haven't been able to open any packs. Seems I'm lacking alot of the very useful lowcost units my opponents all seem to have >:|

[Gerbs]

Lol played arena both me and opponent had 1 health. Drew a mad bomber and i died.

Casual has a lot of somewhat experienced players messing around with experimental decks, or doing dailies without risking rank. Rank 25 on the other hand are where complete new players start, and casuals who can't be bothered to fully learn the game

[PuYang]

Haha yeah it appears that way, although I sorta take that back. My third ranked match (still 25) was against a Druid who played 3-4 legendaries and 1 epic. Wouldn't be surprised if he had more in his deck.

I ended up losing that one of course; used up my Polymorphs and Fireballs on 2 legendaries and his epic, and some other strong units. Never woulda guessed he had more legendaries every turn >:|

[Energy]

I hit rank 3 last season but couldn't quite make legend because I didn't have enough time to play. Haha hopefully I finally get to legend this season.

how's your experience using mukla? he was my first legendary..and then i dusted it later on to craft a rag. sometimes i wonder how viable he is in a deck considering the drawbacks of the 2 bananas.

[SkinnyPupp]

Mukla has been OK when played on an empty board... Still deciding if he's worth it - considering using a Shade of Naxx instead.

[SkinnyPupp]

This deck is doing great for me:

http://i.imgur.com/f2Ylw44.jpg

First time playing Druid consistently, just got my 15th win with that character (I think I have 150 with my highest now? Not sure)

It does well against Huntards and zoo. I even out-controlled a control warrior, and out-token'd a shaman. I never thought I'd like a minion control deck so much, but it's quite fun. Halfway through rank 6 which is my highest so far IIRC

[SkinnyPupp]

When bad play saves your life...

After playing hunter 5 times in a row, I decided to bring out the Huntard Hunter deck. (unfortunately I didn't queue into a single one after that...).

Went up against this priest, got him down pretty well using secrets and aggro. Unfortunately I didn't draw any of my draw cards by turn 8 (there was a 7.8% of this happening) so I stalled out. I did have Leeroy in hand though... All I needed was a buff to finish him off.

http://i.imgur.com/A8k2ayZ.jpg

He managed to clear my board with holy nova and wild pyro. With 2 mana left, he decided to not play around consecration or avenging wrath, and instead healed himself. With no opposing board, and no cards in my hand.

http://i.imgur.com/X9YsP1z.jpg

Sure enough his choice ended up being correct, since I would have drawn lethal that turn. He proceeded to PW: Shield his middle guy. He did this before attacking and without healing his pyro. So he lost 2 minions, missed 6 damage. He healed himself again.

http://i.imgur.com/iV900ar.jpg

Sure enough, healing himself to 13 put him out of lethal range of my topdeck again.

At this point, there was a 2.9% chance of me NOT drawing one of my draw cards, so I just gave up.

[Gerbs]

Shaman Turn 3 Kill - YouTube

[SkinnyPupp]

You know he's playing day 1 opponents when they sap an elven archer instead of killing it (before using a voodoo doctor for no heal)

[SkinnyPupp]

Played around with a new giants mage today..

http://i.imgur.com/VeCMDeW.jpg

of course it queued me up against control warriors in 3 of the first 5 games (other 2 were hunter).. Well joke's on them, I won 2 out of 3 control warrior matchups! (let's not talk about the hunter matches)

First match I was able to Doomsayer his armorsmith and acolyte, and it just kept going from there with tempo plays.. Sludge, Cairne, Sylvanas... I used Alex on myself, and finished him with her and Rag and a Molten (2 of which got brawled away but still)... Great stuff!

Second guy couldn't answer 2 moltens on the board and HE ran Alex on ME... His armor kept him out of my own Alex combo range (1 damage off lethal!) but I used blizzard on his minions, brought him down to 8, and he conceded. (I had Rag in hand too)

In another match against a Shaman, I was able to play Sludge Belcher 4 times as well as stealing his with Sylvanas.

[SkinnyPupp]

BTW they nerfed Leeroy and Starving Buzzard

Upcoming Balance Changes for 9/22 - Forums - Hearthstone (http://us.battle.net/hearthstone/en/forum/topic/14279128810#1)

Leeroy Jenkins now costs 5 (up from 4)

Starving Buzzard now costs 5 (up from 2) and now has 3 Attack and 2 Health (up from 2 Attack and 1 Health)

Those are some pretty crazy nerfs! No more triple Leeroy, and no more "turn 5 draw half your deck"

Pretty crazy

[Vale46Rossi]

^ Nerf was WAYYY overboard.... Starving Buzzard even up to 3 or perhaps 4.....

But 5 with only 1 extra attack and health is way too much.

[Jer3]

we need a thread revival. GVG expansion comes out soon!

[SkinnyPupp]

I don't play as much now but I still like the game. Just the occasional arena until GVG comes out. I did get my first 12 win arena recently :thumbs:

[SkinnyPupp]

GVG us out in arena! It's fun as hell to play with these whacky cards

[Jer3]

been having a lot of fun with the new cards. priest is really fun with the shadow madness/shrinkmiester/recombob combo. really hard to get the right conditions to pull it off however.

even though i love playing priest, its hard to rank up using it...been taking my slightly modified handlock (post-gvg) and ive been up to rank 12 so far. facing face hunters is so annoying though...

[SkinnyPupp]

Yup it's been really fun. Hard to climb for sure as you can't really tailor to a meta since there seemingly is none. I bounce between 9 and 13, depending on how crazy of a deck I am testing out. But the truth is unless you're aiming for legendary, there's really no reason to worry about it.

I have a cool mage deck I put together that is pretty fun and somewhat consistent. Unstable Portal is so fun

Here's a game where it allowed me to beat a handlock I probably had no chance to beat otherwise

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPam6fD8L5o

I also tried to put together a warlock mech/demon deck. It didn't do that well but a lot of it was due to shit draws. I have a soulfire and a hellfire, and for 3 games straight I never drew either of them in my first 20 cards. So I added a second hellfire and sure enough the next game all 3 were in my opening hand, along with a 6 drop, after a full mulligan.

I never disenchant unless I get triples even though what you suggest is the most ideal way. I kinda want all the cards in the game :D

Using him in a rogue deck with stealth could be useful, but I'm no expert. Still ranked 20.

But yeah, there's shit like Pyroblast and Grommash I would like to have.

[SkinnyPupp]

Usually I would recommend that people not touch any of their cards until they really know what to do with them. There are some that are instant-DE though, since they are literally useless and only cause you to miss out on having something better. Gruul is just one of those cards :lawl:

ADWCTA's Hearthstone Arena Tier List (http://www.heartharena.com/tierlist)

Something I found and have been following in terms of card value.

And the rule of thumb for basic card value I've been following is that the mana cost should not be more than half of atk + hp. Any others you can share?

[SkinnyPupp]

Mana = atk+hp/2 is the 'vanilla test' - after that you have to factor in added value from battlecry and other effects. There are certain effects that you "need" in arena, such as silence, remove weapon, and charge.

A good rule of thumb is to draft purely based on value for your first 10 picks or so. Pick up obviously OP cards land board sweeps when you can. After that, fill out the deck with anything you're missing. Try to have 5-7 solid 2 mana minions (go for 3/2 rather than 2/3) to make sure you can have early tempo.

Avoid any card that looks OP and passes the vanilla test, but is easy to remove. The easiest example of this is Magma Rager. 5 damage for 3 mana looks insane. But obviously with 1 health, it's the easiest minion to kill.

[Alby]

looking to blow all my google credit into the game for packs. better to buy all classic decks or goblin decks or half half.

You'll need to buy both, there are quite a few useful classic cards still. I would say buy classic cards and play arena to get the new ones. Also, Naxxramas is a must, but its in game currency price is inflated -spend the $20 instead

need more cardssssssssssss

[SkinnyPupp]

I started using heartharena.com. I haven't found that it helps my draft picks too much, as I have quite a bit of experience now. But it does help keep track of synergies to look out for, etc. It's good for those times where you have two good choices, and it reminds you that there may be a reason to pick one over the other if you can't decide. And it is definitely perfect for beginners for drafting. Just be sure to pay attention to why each card is good.

Here's my current priest run (http://www.heartharena.com/arena-run/2469k9), 8-2 atm. 2 losses were against mages that had infinite flamestrikes and fireballs.

[Vale46Rossi]

have not been playing arena =/

But lots of ranked... hit rank 8 and now I am back and forth... sigh need a good run.

[SkinnyPupp]

Rank 8 is really good! After that it's just a matter of grinding to keep climbing.

[Tim Budong]

Im just gonna grind gold to score cards..highest ranked hit was 17 last season

[mr_chin]

Rank 14 now after I scored some hardcore warlock cards to make my handlock deck.

Upcoming Balance Change to Undertaker - Forums - Hearthstone (http://us.battle.net/hearthstone/en/forum/topic/15700587539)

They are going to nerf Undertaker so its only +1 attack... and not +1/+1

fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
I had a very low cost deck consisting of Undertaker, northshire cleric and lightwell really fucked people up

[SkinnyPupp]

How is that a bad thing? :fulloffuck:

Undertaker was SO fucking broken. Often it would be a yeti with charge on turn 2 or 3. FUCK THAT.

[Energy]

They should nerf BGH too.

[SkinnyPupp]

BGH is there to keep huge minions under control.. I think it's perfectly balanced.

[Vale46Rossi]

BGH is perfectly fine, or Handlocks will always hit legend easily and everyone will play Handlock....

Undertaker needed a nerf badly so I am very glad Blizzard made this choice, Turn 3-4 and already overwhelmed by a fucking undertaker is ridiculous

[Jer3]

the undertaker nerf was necessary. theres way too many times you get rekt by turn 3-4 by cancer or zoo. its so hard to find an answer to it until its too late often times.

[Razor Ramon HG]

Why would BGH need a nerf?

[ForbiddenX]

Got lucky today and opened 2 packs and got 2 legendaries :)

Nice my last 2 packs had a legendary (I already had it) and a golden epic.

BTW did you guys see the announcement for BRM? It's out next month! PogChamp

[SkinnyPupp]

Best arena draft all time all my life

Nice, Iron Juggernaut.

I got one of those through unstable portal turn 2.
Played Duplicate on turn 3.
Iron Juggernaught was out on turn 4.
Had 3 mines out by turn 10.

It was fun watching as my opponent drawn every card.

[SkinnyPupp]

OK that druid draft with 3 legendaries was SHIT. Well my opponents had PERFECT games against me twice.

Anyway, I did do 12 wins again, with this priest draft:

http://i.imgur.com/EENseWh.jpg

Only way it could be better is if I had a SW Death. No velens! Except Velen himself, but I chose Gruul instead.

2 losses were to mages with 3 flamestrikes each

The MVPs by far were the Shrinkmasters. They are SO good at building a board and keeping your 1 and 2 drops alive. By turn 5, if you draw well, you have 2 shrinkmasters, chow, worgen, and faerie dragon just tearing shit up.

Cabal was played 3 times, including one with a shrinkmaster to steal a senjin.

Gruul was drawn twice, and was good both times. Velen would have been useless. Toshley was my other choice, and wouldn't have been as good either.

Holy Nova really good too.

[Razor Ramon HG]

Man, I hate playing people with fucking legendaries in their deck.

I've opened a shit ton of packs and have never gotten a single one.

Ragnaros with nothing on board or Kel'Thuzad on the board in a close game is fucking annoying.

Damn that's pretty crazy. I thought it was in an arena run at first but I guess they set it up like that?

Yeah it's definitely a friendly game set up specifically to do this

[ForbiddenX]

Did anyone preorder BRM? I'm thinking of pre-ordering it but I actually haven't beatn Naxx yet. Should I beat Naxx before getting BRM?

[SkinnyPupp]

To be competitive you'll probably need both. If you're just messing around it doesn't matter either way

[ForbiddenX]

Ahh ok, I'm starting to play a little bit more and taking it more seriously instead of just fooling around.

I think I will be getting both but will probably pre-order BRM first for the card backing.

edit: got naxx and cleared all wings today. Definitely worth it. Going to try and finish the class cards tomorrow.

[ForbiddenX]

Been getting pretty lucky with my packs recently. I've been opting to open instead of use it for arena since I like ladder a little bit more right now.

Trying to save up for BRM right now. Managed to get to rank 15 so far with a zoolock and my mage. Thinking of going back to a control warrior or trying a face hunter lol

[SkinnyPupp]

Face hunter is the best if you want to go fast. I don't find it that fun.. only do it if you really care about climbing.

This is the deck I've been playing...

http://i.imgur.com/m9roJon.jpg

It does quite well against everything (8-1 against druid, 8-2 against mage, 4-0 against warrior, 3-1 against rogue) and catches people by surprise. You can get some pretty crazy combos, but it also does a good job of out-tempoing the opponent (if you can get value from the Jeeves while preventing your opponent from getting any)

[Energy]

Deck looks fun, I'll try it out later.

[SkinnyPupp]

Comboriffic! As soon as he used darkbomb on my cockmaster, I knew I could leave my hobgoblin up

http://i.imgur.com/67LhkeI.jpg

Plays mountain giant + taunt... Enter the WARSONG

http://i.imgur.com/oHaMB55.jpg

u mad bro? I thought he was going to say something about my unique deck

http://i.imgur.com/CdbXWTB.jpg

(it actually took about 10 seconds, I wanted to combo warsong and shredder)

[ForbiddenX]

Yea looks like a pretty fun warrior deck. I'm gonna try it out after I get BRM tomorrow. Wouldn't whirlwind also combo pretty nice with it?

[SkinnyPupp]

I tried to keep it as minion heavy as possible... This isn't one of those gimmicky combo decks you see... Deaths Bite has been fine, also charging into annoyotrons and keepers :)

It's irritating when jeeves isn't in the top 10 cards, so I might put in another draw card, maybe battle rage

[ForbiddenX]

I liked the first wing a lot more than the second wing. Heroic is a bit of a challenge :( still trying to get through the first wing in heroic.

[SkinnyPupp]

The adventures are stupid, I just want the cards

[ForbiddenX]

I don't mind them too much I think the boss interactions are pretty fun.

Running a grim patron deck is fun and funny. I want to focus of getting to know the rogue but not sure if crafting 2 preps is worth it :( I know its a staple in most decks but would rather save up for Grommash or even Alexstrasza

[Energy]

I kind of want to go to a fireside gathering... are there any local ones?

[mr_chin]

I never knew they unlock a wing every week... otherwise I wouldn't have paid $25 for it and just grind the gold for it.

Vancouver is too cool for that.

[Energy]

Vancouver is too cool for that.

:okay:

[ForbiddenX]

You can probably host one yourself and email blizzard for some swag.

There have been a few down here but I haven't gone to any lol.

[Razor Ramon HG]

Saving up packs and opening them all at once.

Currently got 2 classics and 14 expansion packs.

Only been playing for dailies.

[ForbiddenX]

Guess I'm crafting an edit: Sylvanas instead :)

Didn't know this subreddit existed but there are some good posts and general discussion about competitive HS: A resource for competitive Hearthstone. (http://www.reddit.com/r/competitivehs)

[SkinnyPupp]

iphone version is out (https://itunes.apple.com/se/app/hearthstone-heroes-warcraft/id625257520?mt=8), for people who still buy those

Android version coming (http://www.hearthpwn.com/blue-tracker/topic/12001-hearthstone-not-available-to-download-phone) as soon as the store puts it up, apparently

[ForbiddenX]

Just downloaded and it runs well on an iPhone 6.

[Razor Ramon HG]

Downloading on Android now.

I got sick and tired of downloading all the cracked APKs every time a new patch came out, so this is nice.

[SkinnyPupp]

It's unfortunately still a bloated piece of shit, and barely runs on my Nexus 5. I lost a game because it lagged out for a whole turn, and I couldn't play a minion. It just sat there, and then all of a sudden the rope burned in like 2 seconds.

After closing the app, my phone crashed.

Going to take this opportunity to do a wipe and install lollipop, see if that helps

[Razor Ramon HG]

Works perfectly fine on my LG G3. Prefer the older controls like on the Android tablets though.

[PuYang]

Grrrrr now that this is on Android phones, I've downloaded it and thinking of playing again. I never got too into it, and was never very good at playing. Don't have a big collection of cards.

If I were to play, what do you guys recommend, spending the daily rewards gold on unlocking the quests? I haven't even unlocked all of the Naxxramas. Should I go back and unlock those for the cards or unlock the new quests? or skip them?

random complaint; the game strains my eyes so bad on my Xperia Z3! Things are too tiny >;(

[ForbiddenX]

The 2 cards I use most out of Naxx are from the first 2 wings, Loatheb and Sludge Beltcher.

The first wing from BRM has Grim Patron and Quick Shot. Grim Patron plays really well in a warrior deck. Check out SkinnyPup's post

[Razor Ramon HG]

Legendaryless spree continues..

Just opened 25 packs, no legendaries and only a few epics.
